ESA TV have released another cool video on ATV! This new clip highlights the importance of Europe having its own cargo spacecraft and the role of ATV for the ISS in the perspective of ESA’s Human Spaceflight programme. The video blurb states, in part:

Johannes Kepler is the [next] production unit of the automated transport vehicle-series following on from the highly successful 2008 first flight model Jules Verne. After the retirement of the US Space Shuttle, it will become the largest vehicle supplying the ISS. With ATV, Europe is serving as a key pillar in ISS logistics.
